Lot 1232
1915. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ CAC Approved. Only 450 minted. Lovely purple toning. This is a blemish-free case in point of final year Proof Barber Half Dollar in this grade: sleek natural hues in color, with mint bloom below that captures the full effect of the careful preservation since it was made almost a century ago. We end the luster description but wish we could fill several paragraphs describing the aesthetic beauty this imparts. Finally, a comment about strike: this piece struck with controlled precision throughout stands front and center among its peers of which there are very few others at or above this Proof 65 grade. Pop 12; 20 finer, 13 in 66, 7 in 67 (PCGS # 6562) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
